Breaking the bondaries in textile
Sustainability
100% natural, recyclable, cork is an inherently sustainable resource, both biodegradable and renewable.
Our approach is based on the knowledge that textiles, throughout its life cycle, has a huge relevance on environmental impacts. We are committed to ensuring that our products extend their function as far as possible. Read More >
Technical Information
Composed by Cotton or other sustainable textile material together with Cork waste, is an innovative and high performance yarn that simultaneously incorporate the properties of textile substrates at the level of comfort, breathability, touch and appearance and the functional benefits of cork: natural, comfortable and warm feeling, hypoallergenic with high friction resistance and good resilience.

The Heritage
Considering the importance of the Cork and Textiles sectors in the Portuguese and European traditional Industries, led us to the emergence of the “Cork-a-Tex” Project – with the objective of developing sustainable textile substrates with cork waste from used cork stoppers, old cork products, or recyclable cork among others, thus a great example of circular economy.

Breaking the
boundaries in
textile with a
living material
called Cork.
Cork is nature’s own high-tech achievement.
Down to the cell structure, its unique composition
and characteristics cannot be replicated by anything
man-made.
Comfortable and warm feeling
The natural texture of cork combines softness
and flexibility to the touch with a naturally
surface.
Hypoallergenic
Because cork does not absorb dust, it helps to
protect against allergies and does not pose a
risk to asthma suffers.
high friction resistance
and good resilience
Cork is extremely resistant to abrasion and has a
high friction coefficient. Thanks to its honeycomb
structure, its resistance to impact or fiction is
greater than that of other hard surfaces.
We are Spinning the future of high performance sustainable fabric
We are part a evolutionary path where new process and technologies are constantly being developed. Every day we are inspired by the amazing materials we work with and driven by the desire to turn these materials into amazing products.
The combination of cork awaken our creativity, resulting in a sustainable field of visuals and performance. Our innovate production methods have made it possible to join fabrics with sustainable cork to create a range of exquisite textiles.
Cork.
new textile material
Cork is extremely resistant to abrasion
and has a high friction coefficient.
Thanks to its honeycomb structure, its
resistance to impact or friction is
greater than that of other hard
surfaces.
Sharing passion by
nature and innovation
A unique partnership has been set up with 2 companies with different business, but with the same passion, for nature and innovation.
With the scientific support of Citeve and Porto University we were able to develop innovative and high-performance products that simultaneously incorporate the properties of textile substrates at the level of comfort, touch and appearance and functional cork surplus value.
